It wasn’t until 1984 that the brand opened its first store on Columbus Avenue in New York while debuting its first shoe collection for men. Driving the brand is a desire to make meaningful connections with people and address not just what they stand in but also what they stand for. This same desire led Kenneth Cole to partner with the American Foundation for AIDS Research in 1985, a partnership that would span over the decades to follow and spark many other philanthropic quests. While simultaneously launching successful lines of shoes, handbags, fragrances, and other accessories over the years, Kenneth Cole has been passionately shining a light on issues like gun violence, equal human rights, and poverty. In 1992, the brand launched its first shoe drive to support homeless populations and has since collected and donated more than 2 million pairs of shoes. Today, Kenneth Cole continues to use his platform in the world of fashion to make waves on the humanitarian front. In 2017, Kenneth received the Swarovski Award for Positive Change, which honours individuals in the U.S fashion industry who have made a positive impact on the country’s communities, improving the overall welfare of mankind. Gentle Souls by Kenneth Cole ""Created from the inside out. Designed from the outside in."" Kenneth Cole's Gentle Souls represent designs crafted from a modern mindset and looks made for life in the city. The classic silhouettes found within this collection feature structured footbeds to provide unparalleled comfort for all-day wear. At the foundation of Kenneth Cole's Gentle Souls lays one simple ingredient: flaxseed, which became the industry's patented solution for comfortable footwear. Pillows filled with the simple yet revolutionary ingredient are placed into the footbed of its shoes to mold the foot's shape. Once molded, memory foam is added to key pressure points, followed by the lining of the insoles with sheepskin. High-quality leather, along with the brand's essential layer of modern style, completes the look. Kenneth Cole is proudly available for you here at TSC.
